    Hi Alexander,

    When you changed your style in the theme settings you set the declaration (on your html at line 131) to be:

    body.custom-background {
    background-color: #eae1e1;
    }

    This set all of your theme's body to the dark gray.

    To get those icons to have a like background you need to add this declaration to your CSS

    div.featuredpage{
    background-color: #fff !important; 
    /*Adding the !important declaration ensures that this rule won't be over-written*/
    }

    Looking at your source code you seem to have a lot of CSS and script files which will affect your load-time make sure that you install a good cache-ing plugin to mitigate this.
